Clamshell smartphone

The announcement of a processor close to the top status happened in December 2018. Then his power led to amazement. However, even now one of its cores causes only positive emotions, because it is able to operate at a clock frequency of 2840 MHz. Three other cores help him, the performance of which, due to the frequency of 2420 MHz, turned out to be not much lower. And the four less powerful cores are used by applications that solve less complex tasks. This design allowed the American manufacturer to achieve high energy efficiency.It remains to add that the manufacture of the Snapdragon 855 processor is carried out using a 6-nanometer process technology.

Clamshell smartphone

The device received at its disposal a large display that folds in half.

  • Average price: 159,990 rubles.
  • Country: South Korea
  • Display: AMOLED, 2152x1536 pixels, 7.3 inches, 60 Hz
  • Fast charge: 15W

The best choice for a person who is a collector at heart. Even after the end of use, the device should find a place on some shelf, because it is the first attempt by the South Korean company to make a smartphone with a screen that bends in half. And the pancake did not come out lumpy. The top-end Qualcomm processor made it possible to realize decent power, thanks to which any games can be easily launched here. A large screen can be used to simultaneously work in two or even three applications. The camera, supplemented by an optical stabilizer and the ability to shoot video in 4K resolution at 60 frames / s, is also obliged to please the buyer. However, you can also find fault with a smartphone. It turned out to be too heavy, and its batteries with a total capacity of 4380 mAh do not charge as quickly as we would like.

Pros and cons
  • Extra large foldable display
  • Excellent rear camera
  • Huge amount of RAM and ROM
  • It is not recommended to drop
  • No moisture protection
  • Weight reaches 263 g

Best price

A smartphone can rightfully be called a mid-budget, even despite the presence of a top-end chipset inside it.

  • Average price: 27,500 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 2340x1080 pixels, 6.39 inches, 60Hz
  • Fast charge: 27W

This device with the flagship chip from Qualcomm on board entered our list not only because of this fact. The device stands out from the competition and low price, and an abundance of wireless modules, and the presence of both of the most popular connectors. This means that the device will not force you to look for a Bluetooth headset, you can also connect standard wired headphones to it. And at one time it was one of the most inexpensive smartphones among those that can boast a fingerprint scanner built into the display. By the way, for the manufacture of the screen used AMOLED technology, indicating perfect color reproduction. You can complain about the LCD panel only because of the standard refresh rate - it was on this parameter that the Chinese decided to save money. And they didn't even bother with waterproofing.

Pros and cons
  • Good triple camera
  • Implemented retractable "front"
  • There is a "mini-jack"
  • Moisture protection wouldn't hurt
  • No microSD card slot

Top 8. ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3 8/128GB

The most reliable

The front panel of this smartphone is protected by Dinorex T2X-1 glass, which requires considerable effort to damage.

Gaming smartphone

The device does not heat up at all during an active game, since a real fan is busy cooling the processor.

  • Average price: 39,890 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 2340x1080 pixels, 6.65 inches, 90 Hz
  • Fast charge: 27W

Any mobile processor with a long game starts to heat up very much. Especially if it's a top-end chipset, the cores of which are capable of running at high clock speeds. The Snapdragon 855 is just that.So that the owner of the smartphone does not burn his hands, manufacturers go to all sorts of tricks. For example, the creators of ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3 introduced an active cooling system. At the same time, the fan is almost inaudible - the speed of rotation of its blades varies depending on the current load. And this model also received a memorable design of the back panel, complemented by an LED strip. There is also a single lens of the main camera, hiding under a 48-megapixel 1/2-inch matrix. And since the smartphone cannot be called a record-breaking thin, one of its ends quietly found a place for a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Pros and cons
  • Vibration works perfectly in time with game events
  • special design
  • Excellent scratch resistance
  • The camera consists of one module
  • The fingerprint scanner is on the back

Interesting triple camera

The Japanese manufacturer placed matrices with the same resolution under the lenses, so that when changing the focal length, the picture does not lose quality at all.

  • Average price: 49,990 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Display: OLED, 2520x1080 pixels, 6.1 inches, 60 Hz
  • Fast charge: 18W

The composition of this smartphone included an excellent camera, consisting of three modules. The main one turned out to be very fast, as evidenced by the f / 1.6 aperture. The manufacturer has also become generous with optical image stabilization. We can only complain about the lack of a scene depth sensor, which is why the camera is not able to blur the background. If we talk about other components, then not everyone will like the lateral location of the fingerprint scanner.But the device is ready to boast a waterproof case. Wi-Fi 802.11ac and LTE modules are used here to access the Internet. And it is assumed that you have Bluetooth headphones, since this smartphone does not have a separate audio jack. However, the device itself sounds good – the stereo speakers here are supplemented with support for Dolby Atmos.

Pros and cons
  • Implemented moisture protection according to the IP68 standard
  • The display is great for watching movies
  • Excellent rear camera
  • Weak "front"
  • The fingerprint sensor is not in the best place
  • Inflated price tag

Top 6. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 8/128GB

Smartphone Slider

To access the front camera, the screen of this device must be moved to the bottom side.

  • Average price: 35,900 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 2340x1080 pixels, 6.39 inches, 60Hz
  • Fast charge: 15W

This smartphone belongs to the already forgotten slider form factor. This means that it consists of two parts - front and back. These two halves are easily shifted with your thumb, resulting in a conversational speaker and a dual front camera appear above the screen. It is a pity that such a design cannot be called reliable - dropping the device is not recommended. Other features of the device stand out 256 GB of permanent memory. At the same time, the manufacturer has become generous with the microSD card slot. It seems that he would have been better off equipping his product with a 3.5mm audio jack instead. As for the battery, its capacity turned out to be very small. This is due to the fact that it had to be placed in the thin lower half of the smartphone.

Pros and cons
  • Very large amount of memory
  • Good AMOLED screen without any cutouts
  • Excellent retractable front
  • No moisture protection
  • Weight reaches 210g
  • No headphone jack

The most unusual

This device boasts the ability to recognize gestures above the screen, as well as a superbly implemented dual camera.

  • Average price: 42,990 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Display: OLED, 2160x1080 pixels, 5.7 inches, 90 Hz
  • Fast charge: 18W

Must be the last mainstream smartphone from Google. This model has not only a powerful processor, but also full-fledged moisture protection according to the IP68 standard. Also, a rare buyer will complain about the camera, which is able to blur the background almost perfectly. And it’s hard to find fault with the quality of 4K video shooting, because it uses optical stabilization in its course. Other features of the device include a polymer OLED screen. This means that the probability of breaking it is extremely small. Unfortunately, the device received a number of shortcomings. For example, they use a very modest battery, the capacity of which does not exceed 2800 mAh. Not everyone will be satisfied with the front camera, which lacks stars from the sky. And the American manufacturer also abandoned the 3.5 mm audio jack.

Pros and cons
  • Excellent photo and video quality
  • The display is difficult to break and scratch
  • Understands many modern wireless standards
  • 4K video recording is limited to 30 fps
  • Minimum battery capacity
  • No fingerprint scanner

Best value for money

For, admittedly, not the biggest money you get a device whose characteristics are as close as possible to the flagship ones.

  • Average price: 36,990 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 2340x1080 pixels, 6.47 inches, 60Hz
  • Fast charge: 18W

Snapdragon 855 is far from the main advantage of this model. Many buyers praise the device much more for its 20-megapixel front camera. If you turn the device over, then three lenses appear. All of them have different focal lengths, so you can use the optical zoom. The picture here is displayed on an AMOLED display with high energy efficiency and deep blacks. At its bottom is a fingerprint scanner. And the device received a solid amount of memory, albeit not a record one. You can scold the manufacturer only for the rejection of the 3.5 mm audio jack and not the fastest battery charging. Yes, and the battery capacity could be more than the 4000 mAh declared here.

Pros and cons
  • Decent AMOLED screen
  • Excellent front camera
  • Wireless charging supported
  • Not the latest version of Android
  • Not the best battery
  • No "mini jack"

The best choice for an artist

A smart stylus is housed in a dedicated compartment on your smartphone, making it the perfect drawing accessory.

The most popular

Typically, this device does not linger on the shelves of large retail chains, not to mention online stores.

  • Average price: 45,000 rubles.
  • Country: South Korea
  • Display: AMOLED, 3040x1440 pixels, 6.8 inches, 60 Hz
  • Fast charge: 25W

Our list cannot do without a top-end smartphone from the South Korean company Samsung. This device comes with a smart stylus, which will spend most of the time in a dedicated slot. However, the device has other advantages. For example, its AMOLED screen received an increased resolution. The rear camera has optical stabilization and 2x zoom. And a large amount of memory allows you not to think about buying a microSD card, although a slot for it is also present here. The moisture protection implemented according to the IP68 standard should also please. Not everyone will like the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack. And the South Koreans put the Snapdragon 655 only in the version of the smartphone intended for overseas sales.

Pros and cons
  • High frame rate 4K video recording available
  • Huge amount of memory
  • Comes with S-Pen
  • The memory card slot is combined
  • Not the most powerful battery

Special game "chips"

The smartphone received a display with an increased sensor refresh rate and the definition of six gradations of pressing force.

  • Average price: 36,490 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 2340x1080 pixels, 6.39 inches, 60Hz
  • Fast charge: 18W

This device based on Snapdragon 855 was created exclusively for gamers. They will appreciate its defiant rear panel design. Also, they are waiting for the sensor polling rate increased to 240 Hz, thanks to which the game reacts with lightning speed to finger movements.The only pity is that the picture is updated standard 60 times per second. But the screen produces almost perfect colors. Otherwise, the device might not be included in our list. By the way, the display also has a fingerprint sensor. The Chinese manufacturer saved money exclusively on a 3.5 mm audio jack and moisture protection - all this is not here.

Pros and cons
  • Liquid cooling system
  • Screen responds to pressure
  • Great sound
  • No "mini jack"
  • Lack of moisture protection
  • The rear camera is only double

Pop-up front camera

It is a rare case when a manufacturer decides to hide the front camera under the case, and therefore the display here does not have extra cutouts.

  • Average price: 41,150 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Display: AMOLED, 3120x1440 pixels, 6.67 inches, 90Hz
  • Fast charge: 30W

This device received an AMOLED display with deep blacks and high energy efficiency. In games and menus of the operating system, it feels good that the refresh rate has been increased to 90 Hz. And also noteworthy is the complete absence of a cutout in the upper part of the screen, in which the front-facing lens is usually placed. Someone can be confused only by the side edges, which turned out to be curved. As for the front camera, it is retractable here. Its resolution is 16 MP. And on the back of the device is the main camera, consisting of three modules. Different focal lengths allow you to use the zoom, albeit relatively small. Nothing bad can be said about the battery.The manufacturer did not fail both with the battery capacity and with the power of the network adapter.

Pros and cons
  • Fingerprint scanner built into the display
  • Good battery life
  • The front camera is retractable
  • No moisture protection
  • The screen has curved edges
  • No 3.5mm audio jack
